Race Tip

OUR QUEEN (14) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish sixth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, over 6½f in the G3 Hawkesbury Crown. Was outdashed but got going late and the extra ground looks a big plus. Major contender. NODACHI (15) was sent out at 18/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1m at Eagle Farm. Should measure up again. PERFECT PLAY (11) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Eagle Farm, beaten 2. 2. 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. ECLAIR AWESOME (12) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0. 9 lengths adrift in third over 1m at Eagle Farm. Change of rider to Ben Thompson who has never been out of the money in three rides, including a win. Can play a role in the finish.
